She started with such promise.
And by she, I mean me.
I start a blog, go and unexpectedly write a book, and then start writing another book, and the poor little blog that re-started it all got pushed to the wayside.
My author's copies started arriving, being inscribed and signed and going back out; more are on the way for more 'in person' marketing. For those of you that don't know; finding online marketing that isn't trying to rape your wallet is nearly a full-time job of its own.
This morning, I was over on Facebook and I reposted a meme with a novella attached as my comment on the repost.
I knew right then and there that it had been too many days since I'd written.
The business side of authoring takes time. Today I got my '.com' and changed everything over on this site to put them together. With this all together now, I can go back to writing posts as well as working on the next book.
You know what else takes time?
Research.
Meditation.
Performing Reiki.
Basic self-care.
Attempting to not be a lousy partner.
Housework.
Anything that takes your mental-meltdown mind off of what you've been doing all day that caused your mental-meltdown to begin with.
Sleep. Sleep is a greedy, time-sucking bitch, to be honest.
And finally, my favorite non-writing pastime: learning the words to songs sung in a foreign language; which brings me to the above posted meme.
Oh, and you can now follow me on Facebook and Instagram and what used to be Twitter (Elon, you and the letter X need to get a room).
I'm worn out.
Time to respectfully massacre Perdon, Perdon.
